Day 8Hi, is me again sharing with you about my children haha. Before I talk about the end time as usual for the remain 13 days let me share with you my thoughts for my ministry today. Today I am so proud of Regan. Leroy his oldest brother, used to be with him in the Playgrp class every week until recently month he was being promoted to the older class. So Regan have to be alone some more their maid went back le. For the pass few weeks, Regan has been crying non stop and his mum need to be in the class with him. But today, Regan greeted me and I was so happy because he reorganise me. Haha not all kids will greet me without I being the first to greet them. Regan today was all alone in the class. He play with friends and do art today. Attend Bible story and worship all by himself for the very first time! Really inside of me was filled with joy I am really so proud of him. Almost all the kids in Playgrp are their first class of their life as some of them have not attend pre school yet. So I am honor to be their first teacher in their life and play a part in their growing and learning. It really give me the satisfaction. Not only I serve the kids and their parents but to God.
Look at Ethan... haha. Is my boy again! hehe... He went to a fish farm for excursion together with the rest of his friend (Video announcement got mention b4 if you guys still remember during service) This is the first time I saw him wearing so casual without all the Ed Hardy shirt haha. He was so funny with the cap and the net on his hand. He told me he catch 2 fishes and the rest is free from the uncle haha.... Look at his eyes and expression. When I took this picture, he is looking for baby fish.. LOLThe Mark of the beast(Events before the blackout)
Mt 24:15-20
15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
"abomination of desolation" mean an idol the anti Christ will put up for Christian to bow.
The verses is basically saying that during the time of tribulation, we Christian got to run and hide from the anti christian. The verse continue to say that if we are working let us not go back home and get our valuable nor our clothing. We got to run! It also said that woe to those who are pregnant and have children. It is because it is very difficult for them to run with a baby in them. The bible ask us to pray that the day will not be during winter and sabbath. It is too heavy for a person to run during winter because of the heavy winter clothing and if you are a Jew, during the sabbath you cannot run. The Bible is so true. So I want to be fit and strong during that day to run and hide. Maybe you will say I will face 1 on 1 with them and fight with them. But Jesus commanded us not to fight with them but to run and hide. It is not a time to be courageous but a time to be smart. Remember that vengeance always belong to the Lord!
Now, What if we get caught by them?? Here is my main message for today. Many people even in my CG, want to backslide and are "emo" not doing well in their spiritual life. Their life now are a bless life I can tell you. Their tribulation and distress are nothing lor. There are grace and forgiveness in Jesus for now. The anti Christian people will instruct us to bow to an idol and worship it. We will then receive the "mark of the beast" and if we don't bow, they will kill us. Those lukewarm christian like what I mention above, will sure fell into the tribulation. I can guarantee you. They can't pass that test. Right now if they cannot pass a little bit of trail and say want to backslide, then during that moment of distress, what make them so sure they will still be loyal to God? I don't know how will I react when I get caught by them, but the only thing I know is I will never denied Christ. I always pray to God my love for Him will never ceased.
Rev 13:15-18
15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
Some how some way, the idol can talk. It will be a supernatural power given by satan for that image to speak to deceive many people. (maybe is a robot or computer screen, remember the book of revelation was written 2000 years ago) The mark, we will be force to receive in either our right hand or forehead and will be the number 666. It stand for satan. It is call the mark of the beast. Once we denied Christ, we will then receive the mark and the anti christian people will not kill us. You may ask how they insert into our body? It might be something like a chalk or like the one for clubbing use. I don't know. Pastor Kong mention before that the technology has been available. Last year I did a project on RFID technology. Maybe you can search for yourself what is that. To summaries that up, all our Ez-link card, cash card and credit card, all have the RFID chips in it. Human implant of such chip has been using in Spain already.
Some Christians, believe that RFID tagging could represent the mark of the beast, which Revelation 13:16-17 says will be placed by the Antichrist in the right hands or foreheads of humans and necessary for commerce.
Friends I tell you heaven and earth will pass away, BUT God's word will never pass away, HE is always faithful.
